Scott Tells the Truth, Latest COVID Craziness, Stimulus Checks for the Dead

by

Listen to “Scott Tells the Truth, Latest COVID Craziness, Stimulus Checks for the Dead” on Spreaker.

Your Friday martinis are served as Rob Long fills in for Jim. Today, they applaud Tim Scott for pointing out the Democrats didn’t block police reform because of what was in the bill but because of who was proposing it. They also wade into the scrutiny on some red states as their COVID infections increase, and they dissect the intense political debate over wearing masks. And they have fun with the news $1.4 billion in stimulus checks were sent out to dead people.

Rioters & Churches, Police & Statues, De Blasio & Fireworks

by

Listen to “Rioters & Churches, Police & Statues, De Blasio & Fireworks” on Spreaker.

Rob Long is in for Jim Geraghty again.  He and Greg rip into far left activist Shaun King for wanting all “European” depictions of Jesus torn down and discuss that the real target of many on the far left is not just religious artwork but the church itself.  They also weigh in on why many police are doing nothing to stop the vandalism and destruction of statues and monuments and they address the political debate arising on the right about whether the police ought to clamp down and protect these properties or whether images of endless rioting are going to lead to more votes for Republicans in November.  And they have fun with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who did nothing about rioting but is now on the warpath against illegal fireworks dealers.

Dissecting the Supreme Court’s DACA Decision

by

Listen to “Supreme Court Saves DACA” on Spreaker.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration did not give a sufficient explanation for wanting to end the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals program.

Also known as DACA, the program was created through an executive order from President Obama in 2012 to give legal status to people in the country illegally after coming here as children.

Supporters of the Trump policy were stunned at the court rejecting the president’s ability to terminate one executive order with one of his own.

So how should the court’s decision be interpreted? Why did the majority rule against the administration? And is the court deliberately deferring decisions on hot-button issues?

Great Scott, Roberts Rules Wrong Again, Trump vs. Bolton

by

Listen to “Great Scott, Roberts Rules Wrong Again, Trump vs. Bolton” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott for a pragmatic approach to police reform and for rightly hammering the Democratic characterization of his legislation as a “token” approach. They also rip Chief Justice John Roberts for siding with the four liberal justices in blocking the Trump administration’s effort to end DACA, which was unconstitutionally created in the first place.  And they wade into the ugly back and forth between President Trump and former National Security Adviser John Bolton over Bolton’s scathing new book.

Supreme Court Amends Civil Rights Act

by

Listen to “Supreme Court Amends Civil Rights Act” on Spreaker.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 1964 Civil Rights Act affords protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

In the majority opinion for the 6-3 ruling, Justice Neil Gorsuch concluded that the court was required to interpret the Civil Right Act in the broadest terms possible.  Dissenting justices argued the authors of 56-year-old legislation were clearly not referring to sexual orientation and gender identity when drafting the law.

So did the majority exercise their role properly or did they engage in overt judicial activism? What should legal conservatives make of Justice Gorsuch’s role in the case?  And what impact will this ruling have on society?

We ask these questions and more to Liberty Counsel Chairman Mathew Staver.

Hawley Hammers Lawmakers, NBC’s Ugly Hit Job, NFL Courting Kaepernick

by

Listen to “Hawley Hammers Lawmakers, NBC’s Ugly Hit Job, NFL Courting Kaepernick” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley for calling out the Supreme Court’s recent judicial activism but also for upbraiding legislators for being too fearful to take up difficult issues and leaving them to the courts to resolve. They also slam NBC for attempting to get Google to deplatform The Federalist and Zero Hedge – largely based on objectionable content in the comments section.  And they discuss NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suddenly encouraging teams to sign Colin Kaepernick.

Trump & Twitter, Police & Vandalism, WHO’s on First

by

Listen to “Trump & Twitter, Police & Vandalism, WHO’s on First” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cringe over President Trump’s tweet targeting a 75-year-old protester who suffered a head injury following a confrontation with Buffalo police. They also throw up their hands as the Minnesota State Patrol admits its officers slashed tires of some unoccupied vehicles during the recent riots, with an explanation that defies credulity. And they unload…again…on the World Health Organization for fostering massive confusion by suggesting that asymptomatic COVID patients very rarely infected other people – and the correction only made things even more confusing.

DeBlasio’s Debacle, Dems & Riots, Back to Kaepernick?

by

Listen to “DeBlasio’s Debacle, Dems & Riots, Back to Kaepernick?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they unload on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for his horrific lack of leadership that paved the way to another night of looting and destruction in his city and his massive double standard on who can gather in public. They also react to the Democrats in Fairfax County, Virginia, retweeting a message saying “riots are an integral part of this country’s march toward progress.” And Jim has a surprising reaction as Clinton White House spokesman Joe Lockhart suggests the Minnesota Vikings should sign Colin Kaepernick as a response to the death of George Floyd.

DeSantis Fights Back, Guns & Votes, Kamala’s Pandering

by

Listen to “DeSantis Fights Back, Guns & Votes, Kamala’s Pandering” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his vigorous defense of his successful strategy to mitigate coronavirus in his state and for calling out the media narrative that insisted his approach would be a disaster. They also note that two Democratic cities in Virginia just handed the majorities on their city councils to Republicans as a backlash to the recent gun control push in the commonwealth. And they groan heavily as Sen. Kamala Harris is introducing legislation to condemn using terms like “Chinese virus” or “Wuhan Flu” as racist.

Courts Rule for Freedom, Trump & HCQ, The Left’s #MeToo Inconvenience

by

Listen to “Courts Rule for Freedom, Trump & HCQ, The Left’s #MeToo Inconvenience” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate courts in Wisconsin and Oregon siding with freedom over heavy-handed governors, although Oregon Supreme Court just overruled the lower court and sided with the governor. They’re also exasperated as President Trump takes hydroxychloroquine, despite testing negative for coronavirus, in the latest salvo in this bizarre battle over whether the drug helps treat COVID-19. They also hammer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for making the fight even more juvenile. And they respond to a liberal opinion writer in the New York Times pathetically changing what they really meant by #BelieveWomen so it doesn’t apply to Joe Biden and Tara Reade.
